This article examines the attempts at legislation in Ireland made by an elected assembly known as ‘Dáil Éireann’ in the revolutionary years between 1919 and 1922. These attempts at legislation, popularly known as ‘Dáil decrees’, have not been published or used as sources of law since the foundation of the Irish state on 6 December 1922. This analysis builds on a pioneering article on this subject published in 1975 by Brian Farrell and attempts to provide additional information on the final fate of the Dáil decrees. The conclusion argues that the fate of this legislation was not, as has been suggested, dictated by divisions created by the Irish civil war of 1922–23. Instead, this analysis concludes that the Dáil decrees faced insuperable practical barriers that could not be overcome after the foundation of the state in 1922.
本文考察了1919年至1922年革命年代,一个名为“DáilÉireann”的民选议会在爱尔兰立法的尝试。这些立法尝试,通常被称为“代尔法令”,自1922年12月6日爱尔兰建国以来,一直没有被公布或用作法律来源。这一分析建立在布莱恩·法雷尔1975年发表的一篇关于这一主题的开创性文章的基础上,并试图提供有关代尔法令最终命运的更多信息。结论认为,这项立法的命运并不像人们所说的那样,是由1922–23年爱尔兰内战造成的分裂决定的。相反,这项分析得出结论,代尔法令面临着无法逾越的实际障碍,这些障碍在1922年建国后无法克服。

The article examines the interpretation of the word ‘scientist’ under Instrument IMMI 13/056 made pursuant to section 22B(1) of the Citizenship Act. The article considers the literal interpretation of the word scientist and the objective of the Instrument. The article provides a critique of the cases that have gone to the Australian Administrative Appeals Tribunal and argues that the interpretation favoured by the Tribunal is misconceived. The article contends that the Tribunal seems to be giving undue support to an arbitrary or haphazardly serendipitous exercise of ministerial power under the special residence framework in a manner that runs afoul of the tenour of section 22B(1) of the Citizenship Act.
本文审查了根据《公民法》第22B(1)条对IMMI 13/056号文书中“科学家”一词的解释。本文考虑了对“科学家”一词的字面解释以及文书的目的。这篇文章对提交给澳大利亚行政上诉法庭的案件进行了批评,并认为法庭支持的解释是错误的。文章认为,法庭似乎不适当地支持在特别居留框架下任意或偶然行使部长权力,其方式违反了《公民法》第22B(1)条的规定。

All Bark, No Bite: Section 11 of India’s Animal Welfare Legislation 只叫不咬:印度动物福利法第11节
IF 0.3 Q3 LAW Pub Date : 2020-09-09 DOI: 10.1093/slr/hmaa017

Speciesism is a bias that causes humans to accord themselves moral superiority in their dealings with non-humans. When speciesism permeates legislative thought, it leads to statutes that sacrifice the interests of non-humans to those of humans. The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 (‘PCA Act’) is no exception. Section 11 of this Act enumerates specific instances that qualify as animal cruelty and prescribes punishment for the same. However, this section is riddled with statutory flaws, some owing their origin to speciesism: inadequate and sweeping punishments, the defective incorporation of the ‘Doctrine of Necessity’, and the limited recognition of cruel acts. This article seeks to analyse each of the aforementioned faults and prescribe solutions which would strengthen the animal welfare regime as a whole. While stressing on broadening the scope of punishable acts under section 11, along with the need for statutory language to reflect ‘severity’ of punishment, the article also argues for differentiated punishment drawn from a consequence-based model which acknowledges the trauma and suffering of the animal. The intention is to prompt a discourse on the ideal drafting of animal welfare legislation.
物种歧视是一种偏见,它导致人类在与非人类打交道时赋予自己道德优越感。当物种主义渗透到立法思想中时,它会导致立法牺牲非人类的利益来换取人类的利益。1960年《防止虐待动物法》(“PCA法”)也不例外。本法第11条列举了构成虐待动物的具体情况,并规定了相应的处罚。然而,这一节充斥着法律上的缺陷,其中一些源于物种歧视:惩罚不充分和笼统,“必要性原则”的不完善,以及对残忍行为的有限承认。本文试图分析上述每一个缺陷,并提出解决方案,以加强整个动物福利制度。在强调扩大第11条下可惩罚行为的范围,以及需要法定语言来反映惩罚的“严重性”的同时,该条款还主张从基于结果的模型中提取差异化惩罚,该模型承认动物的创伤和痛苦。其目的是促使人们对动物福利立法的理想起草进行讨论。

The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 (hereinafter referred to as RTE Act) enacted by the Indian Parliament in 2009 has been a kernel of constitutional controversies. There are spate of controversies emerging from polemical provisions under the RTE Act. In this article, the rabid principle slating out free education for children for economically weaker section and disadvantaged category has been dissected in its design, content, function, and perception. The first part of the article explores different state-private welfare function models and locates the 25 per cent reservation clause under the gamut of one of its classifications. The second part of the article evaluates the Formalist and Realist arguments, and while mapping the role played by objective purpose of the education statute, it argues for the suitability of Holmesian approach to interpreting the 25 per cent reservation clause. In the backdrop of the debate between formal interpretation and Holmesian interpretation, the third part of the article sets out the approaches adopted by different High Courts in interpreting 25 per cent reservation clause and argues for adopting a coherent approach across different courts in India. The final part of the article concludes.
印度议会于2009年颁布的《2009年儿童免费义务教育法》(以下简称《RTE法》)一直是宪法争议的核心。RTE法案下的争议性条款引发了一系列争议。本文从设计、内容、功能和观念等方面剖析了为经济较弱和弱势群体的儿童提供免费教育的狂热原则。文章的第一部分探讨了不同的公私福利函数模型,并将25%保留条款置于其中一种分类的范围之下。文章的第二部分评价了形式主义和现实主义的论点,在描绘教育法规的客观目的所起作用的同时,论证了霍尔姆斯方法对25%保留条款的解释的适用性。在正式解释和霍尔姆斯解释之间辩论的背景下,文章的第三部分列出了不同高等法院在解释25%保留条款时采用的方法,并主张在印度不同法院采用一致的方法。文章的最后一部分结束。

Corporate Criminal Liability for the Criminal Offences in Lithuania 立陶宛刑事犯罪的公司刑事责任
IF 0.3 Q3 LAW Pub Date : 2020-07-21 DOI: 10.1093/slr/hmaa010

Cases, where operations of legal entities entail unfair income through the malpractice of improving financial reports, are quite frequent. Such behaviour is unacceptable and deserves a stern response from the state, not only against persons involved in illegal activities but also against particular legal entities resorting to such behaviour. The purpose of this article is to analyse the elements of corporate criminal liability in the legislation of Lithuania. The article investigates the fundamentals of corporate criminal liability with the major focus on the problems of distinction and applicability of relevant elements of the latter. The analysis emphasizes the assurance of the inevitability of corporate criminal liability. The article also discusses the method of criminalizing the liability of legal entities, chosen by the Lithuanian legislator, according to which criminal liability can arise only for a limited scope of criminal offences. Presumably, the current legal regulation enables an unreasonable avoidance of criminal liability in cases where the criminal offence falls outside the aforementioned limited scope, even though it was committed to gain a material advantage over the affected party. The article also addresses the guilt of legal entities. In this regard, the article criticizes the approach of the Supreme Court of Lithuania for its evident limitation of corporate criminal liability, especially in the context of large corporations owned by many shareholders. As a possible solution, it was proposed to lay criminal responsibility on corporate governance bodies instead of the shareholders.
法律实体的经营由于改进财务报告的不当行为而导致收入不公平的案件相当频繁。这种行为是不可接受的,应该得到国家的严厉回应,不仅针对参与非法活动的人,也针对采取这种行为的特定法律实体。本文的目的是分析立陶宛立法中公司刑事责任的要素。本文探讨了公司刑事责任的基本原则,主要集中在公司刑事责任相关要素的区别和适用问题上。分析强调了公司刑事责任必然性的保证。该条还讨论了立陶宛立法者选择的将法律实体的责任定为刑事责任的方法,根据该方法,只有在有限范围的刑事犯罪中才能产生刑事责任。据推测,在刑事犯罪不属于上述有限范围的情况下,即使犯罪是为了获得对受影响方的物质优势,现行法律法规也可以不合理地避免刑事责任。该条款还涉及法律实体的罪行。在这方面,文章批评了立陶宛最高法院对公司刑事责任的明显限制,特别是在许多股东拥有的大公司的情况下。作为一种可能的解决办法,有人提议将刑事责任归咎于公司治理机构,而不是股东。

Arbitrary Detention in Malaysia: Security Offenses (Special Measures) Act 2012 马来西亚任意拘留:2012年《安全犯罪(特别措施)法》

Eden H B Chua
Legislative erosion of basic human rights is not uncommon in Southeast Asia. The Malaysian government’s recent detention of 12 people under Security Offenses (Special Measures) Act 2012 for their alleged links to Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam has renewed extensive calls from civil society groups for its total repealment. It targets security offenses by creating the powers of arrest without warrant followed by pre-charge detention for up to 28 days. It also removes the courts’ exclusive authority of adjudicating bail applications. To evaluate its value and relevance, this article reviews its fundamental operation and specifically looks at how the courts have attempted to interpret its most controversial provision. This article in the end suggests that while there is clearly the need for reforms, the main focus has to be on implementing safeguards that can help avert its misuse while also cautioning against its broad ambit.
在东南亚,立法对基本人权的侵蚀并不罕见。马来西亚政府最近根据《2012年安全犯罪(特别措施)法》拘留了12人,原因是他们涉嫌与泰米尔伊拉姆猛虎解放组织有联系,这再次引起了民间社会团体的广泛呼吁,要求彻底废除该法。它针对安全犯罪,设立了无需逮捕令即可逮捕的权力,然后在指控前拘留长达28天。它还取消了法院裁决保释申请的专属权力。为了评估其价值和相关性,本文回顾了其基本运作,并具体探讨了法院如何试图解释其最具争议的条款。这篇文章最后表明,虽然显然有必要进行改革,但主要重点必须放在实施有助于避免滥用的保障措施上,同时也要警惕其广泛的范围。

The Sound of Constitutional Silences: Interpretive Holism and Free Speech under Article 19 of the Indian Constitution 宪法沉默之声:印度宪法第19条下的解释整体主义和言论自由
IF 0.3 Q3 LAW Pub Date : 2020-07-07 DOI: 10.1093/slr/hmaa012
R. Kohli
Unlike the US First Amendment, Article 19 of the Indian Constitution expressly enumerates eight grounds on which free speech may be restricted. Despite being a fundamental issue of constitutional interpretation, the question of whether Article 19 provides for an exhaustive list of restrictions has largely been neglected in academic literature and Indian jurisprudence. The latest site of contestations on the scope of the free speech clause has been the case of Kaushal Kishor, where the Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments on whether speech can be restricted by invoking fundamental rights beyond Article 19. This Article seeks to develop a principled answer by excavating the meaning of constitutional silences on the relationships between fundamental rights under the Indian Constitution. It argues that a strict textualist approach leads to a distinct form of rights absolutism that is both doctrinally incoherent and inconsistent with Indian jurisprudence. Examining the shift in the Supreme Court’s interpretive outlook from strict textualism to interpretive holism, it finds that the Court’s rich fundamental rights jurisprudence allows importing restrictions on speech from beyond Article 19. Such an approach also provides a meaningful framework for resolving intra-right, inter-right, and right-interest conflicts in the constitutional adjudication of free speech issues.
与美国宪法第一修正案不同,印度宪法第19条明确列举了限制言论自由的8个理由。尽管是宪法解释的一个基本问题,但第19条是否规定了详尽的限制清单的问题在学术文献和印度法学中基本上被忽视了。关于言论自由条款范围的最新争论是考沙尔·基肖尔案,最高法院目前正在审理是否可以通过援引第19条以外的基本权利来限制言论的争论。本文试图通过挖掘印度宪法中关于基本权利之间关系的宪法沉默的含义,找到一个原则性的答案。它认为,严格的文本主义方法导致了一种独特形式的权利专制主义,这种专制主义在理论上既不连贯,又与印度法理学不一致。在考察最高法院的解释观点从严格的文本主义到解释整体主义的转变时,它发现,最高法院丰富的基本权利判例允许从第19条之外引入对言论的限制。这种方法也为解决言论自由问题的宪法裁决中的权利内、权利间和权利利益冲突提供了一个有意义的框架。

Interpreting Frequently Amended Constitutions: Singapore’s Dual Approach 解读频繁修改的宪法:新加坡的双重方法
IF 0.3 Q3 LAW Pub Date : 2020-07-07 DOI: 10.1093/slr/hmaa009
Marcus Teo
In a time where many constitutions are as frequently amended as ordinary statutes, purposive constitutional interpretation is both commonplace and normatively justifiable. However, as recent Singaporean decisions demonstrate, a common purpose-related problem arising in statutory interpretation—the existence of conflicting purposes at different levels of abstraction—takes on an additional dimension of complexity in constitutional interpretation. While courts prefer specific over general purposes in statutory interpretation, on grounds that this upholds Parliament’s most precise intent, they hesitate to consistently do the same in constitutional interpretation. This article rationalizes this difference between statutory and constitutional interpretation, taking as its point of departure a unique dual function that all constitutions, even oft-amended constitutions, must discharge: the creation of efficient government and the legitimation of political systems. It develops a dual approach to constitutional interpretation in response to this dual function, which requires courts to prefer specific over general constitutional purposes in the event of conflict, except when those general purposes reflect norms which legitimate the constitution in society’s eyes. In doing so, this article develops an understanding of purposive constitutional interpretation that preserves a constitution’s essence, while accommodating the reality of frequent amendments.
在许多宪法和普通法规一样频繁修改的时代,有目的的宪法解释既常见又规范合理。然而,正如新加坡最近的裁决所表明的那样,在法律解释中出现的一个与目的相关的共同问题——在不同的抽象层次上存在相互冲突的目的——在宪法解释中具有额外的复杂性。虽然法院在法定解释中更倾向于特定目的而非一般目的,但基于这维护了议会最准确的意图,他们在宪法解释中不愿始终如一地这样做。本文将法定解释和宪法解释之间的差异合理化,并以所有宪法,甚至是经常修改的宪法,都必须履行的独特的双重职能为出发点:建立有效的政府和政治制度的合法化。它针对这一双重职能制定了宪法解释的双重方法,要求法院在发生冲突时更倾向于特定而非一般的宪法目的,除非这些一般目的反映了在社会眼中使宪法合法的规范。在这样做的过程中,本文发展了对有目的的宪法解释的理解,这种解释既保留了宪法的本质,又适应了频繁修改的现实。

However, as recent Singaporean decisions demonstrate, a common purpose-related problem arising in statutory interpretation—the existence of conflicting purposes at different levels of abstraction—takes on an additional dimension of complexity in constitutional interpretation. While courts prefer specific over general purposes in statutory interpretation, on grounds that this upholds Parliament’s most precise intent, they hesitate to consistently do the same in constitutional interpretation. This article rationalizes this difference between statutory and constitutional interpretation, taking as its point of departure a unique dual function that all constitutions, even oft-amended constitutions, must discharge: the creation of efficient government and the legitimation of political systems. It develops a dual approach to constitutional interpretation in response to this dual function, which requires courts to prefer specific over general constitutional purposes in the event of conflict, except when those general purposes reflect norms which legitimate the constitution in society’s eyes.
